International M 3hp
This engine was purchased from a trader many years ago, It sat
un-restored for a good few years, and was restored in 2005 to the
condition you see now, It needed many repairs including a cracked governor
weight bracket and a replacement governor sleeve. It was interesting to
note that when we stripped the engine it had been stripped and de-carbonised
before, including a brand new old style champion spark plug which had never run. I
think whoever did this must have been servicing the engine but then damaged
something so it was never finished. This engine is petrol paraffin engine
being started on petrol and then switched to paraffin when warm. The date is
unknown as all the brass components were removed some time in the past including
the data plate, approx date is 1930`s
